Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Stuff 'em, fry 'em. (Traditional stuffing is ricotta, but I bet soy cream cheese would do just as well.)

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay GlamBoy!

Hil, they're very good fried.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Hil, I went to the farmers' market today, too! I got 2 enormous zucchinis for 25 cents each (they will be turned into bread very soon), 5 large peaches, some tomatoes, and some tiny plums.

And I petted a goat. (The farmers' market always has an area with kids' crafts, etc., and one of the local farms will sometimes bring goats for petting and so forth.)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm trying to avoid frying. I found a recipe that has a light pan-fry instead of breading and deep-frying them, and I might try something like that. For the filling, I think I'll make tofu cashew ricotta -- cashews, tofu, lemon juice, a bit of olive oil, garlic, salt, and a little basil, mixed together in a food processor. I tend to like the homemade vegan cheeses better than the store-bought ones. I might add a bit of nutritional yeast to the mix.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oh yay!! The tenant's boyfriend was the one who hit me, and it was the vehicle my landlord described. He just ran into me and was completely awesome about the whole thing; he had no idea he'd done more than just scuff me because it was dark, and he's perfectly willing to take responsibility. There's some complications with his girlfriend and her car, though, so we're probably going to pretend that it was his car so we can just go through his insurance. He was surprised at the estimate, as I was, and he just wants to talk to the body shop to see why it's so high, but we should have this taken care of by the weekend. Man. What a relief.

Our wings are not tired.

Let's hear it for the boy! Wonderful report, GC.

That is a relief, P-C. Glad to hear he took responsibility.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

There's no harm in getting another estimate, too. His insurance company might have someone they recommend.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Some sleep-through-the-night~ma would be welcome. BAD day at work today (mistake I made--and didn't know I made--came back to haunt me). Plus, very tired and achey to begin with--so tired I want to cry. I'm exhausted, but I'm feeling anxious enough that I'm worried I won't sleep.

I just really don't like my life much right now. My job is wearing me down. My health and fitness both are suffering from it. If I could put in an extra 20 hours in the next week, I could get ahead of things, but I just can't make myself do it. I start crying at the thought of it.

Glam, that's awesome news!

P-C, glad it's not going to be a huge deal.

ETA: Anne, I am so sorry. I really miss you and am sad to hear things are so rough for you.
